Chapter 705 The True G.o.ddess
A faint smile flashed across Feng Xingyun’s face.
He did not take Li Mu’s threat to heart at all.
“Heh-heh, I’m reminding you out of kindness. The ways of Mr. Huangfu are not as simple as you think. Sometimes, the women who he has played may not even know that they have been played,” he said in a seemingly casual manner.
Suddenly, countless people looked at Hua Xiangrong in a curious and strange way.
What Feng Xingyun said could be translated very easily. It meant that perhaps Huangfu Chengdao had played Hua Xiangrong, but she didn’t know that.
These were probably the harshest words anyone at the banquet could say.
Hua Xiangrong’s originally calm eyes began to flame with anger.
She looked at Li Mu nervously, wanting to say something.
Li Mu waved his hand to stop her and then stared at Feng Xingyun.
With a smile on his face, Feng Xingyun looked at Li Mu and said, “Don’t get mad. I’m just reminding you out of kindness…”
Before his voice faded away, a broadsword flashed.
Li Mu had unsheathed the Samsara Knife.
He thrust the knife angrily. The strike was as fast as lightning.
Feng Xingyun did not expect that Li Mu would take action directly without any hesitation on such an occasion.
A mysterious broadsword.
Li Yidao’s broadsword.
A broadsword flas.h.i.+ng with a mysterious light.
Feng Xingyun wanted to dodge. However, as soon as the thought popped into his mind, he suddenly felt a chill between his eyebrows.
At the same time, Li Mu withdrew his strength and knife.
Crimson blood slowly oozed out from the area between Feng Xingyun’s eyebrows.
The blade slashed across the area between Feng Xingyun’s eyebrows.
“You…” Feng Xingyun glared at Li Mu.
In a flash of light, Li Mu sheathed the Samsara Knife with a contemptuous look on his face.
“I will spare your life for the sake of Mr. Bai at this banquet of the Heavenly Fox Clan. With your lame tricks in fanning the flames, you don’t deserve to rank second on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. I feel ashamed to a.s.sociate with you.”
The crowd fell silent.
Feng Xingyun looked extremely gloomy.
The cut between his eyebrows had healed in an instant, and the blood that had oozed out flew backwards.
Li Yidao’s hack could not kill him.
That hack was extremely powerful, but it only left a knife mark in the area between Feng Xingyun’s eyebrows.
That was because Feng Xingyun never expected that Li Mu would be that crazy to attack him directly at the banquet.
If he had been a little bit prepared, Li Mu’s broadsword would have not even gotten close to him.
If Li Mu continued to attack, Feng Xingyun could completely avoid it and even launch a thunderous counterattack as he performed his Nether Ghost Skill.
However, Li Mu stopped.
Just when he was about to make another move, Bai Yuanshou came over.
“Mr. Li, you made trouble several times at the banquet tonight. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far?” Bai Yuanshou looked at Li Mu and said in a seemingly questioning tone. However, there was not much anger in his eyes. Obviously, he was just going through the motions.
Li Mu said, “Mr. Bai, I don’t want to make trouble, but I have to fight against a mad dog barking at my fiancée.”
As he said that, he looked around, deliberately put on a strange look, and then continued. “It may sound strange, but how come there is a mad dog at such a grand banquet?”
The crowd erupted into laughter.
“What did you say?” Feng Xingyun asked, staring at Li Mu. He was so angry that his teeth ached.
Li Mu sneered and said, “What did I say? Don’t you hear it? Why do you refuse to be a nice person and have to be a mad dog? You talk like a big mouth. Do you think you are full of wisdom? Heh-heh, all that I can say is that you have misunderstood the word ‘wisdom’.”
Feng Xingyun was infuriated, but he laughed and said, “Li Yidao, do you really think you can do whatever you want?”
Li Mu interrupted him directly and said, “You will know if I can do whatever I want very soon. If it weren’t for the sake of Mr. Bai, you would be dead now. I’m telling you that if anyone spreads any rumor about the Lady of the Clouds from now on, both that person and you will die. Do you understand now?”
“Hah-hah-hah.” Feng Xingyuan laughed. “Who do you think you are, huh? You’re lucky to have made your way to the fourth place on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. Do you really think that no one in the Star River can defeat you?”
“You still have no idea who I am, but you will know very soon.” Li Mu held Hua Xiangrong’s hand tightly and said, “That hack is just an appetizer. Let’s cut the c.r.a.p. Save your tricks for the time when we meet in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. I hope you b.a.s.t.a.r.d can still laugh so happily then.”
With that, Li Mu took Hua Xiangrong’s hand, turned around, and left.
Countless eyes in the main shrine hall followed the couple.
He got angry and unsheathed his broadsword for his woman.
Some people, especially some female pract.i.tioners, suddenly understood why the Lady of the Clouds was so loyal to Li Yidao.
She was in love with the right person.
At the very least, Li Yidao dared to thrust his broadsword at someone like Feng Xingyun the “Nether Ghost” on such an occasion to protect the reputation of the Lady of the Clouds. Such a man deserved admiration and loyalty.
Some female pract.i.tioners even began to envy the Lady of the Clouds.
“It’s difficult to find a loyal lover in one’s life.
“Even though her peerless beauty is well known in the Star River and there are countless admirers chasing her, all that is not comparable to having someone who loves and dotes on her with all his heart.”
Even Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, looked at Li Mu in a way that somewhat showed his complicated emotions.
When Feng Xingyun insulted the Lady of the Clouds just now, Huangfu Chengdao felt angry and wanted to take action, but he hesitated for a moment. As a result, Li Yidao took action before he did. From this point of view, he knew that Li Yidao did not deceive the Lady of the Clouds, yet he didn’t want to give up.
When Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong were about to reach the door of the main shrine hall, Feng Xingyun could not control himself anymore. With a resentful look on his face, he raised his head and said, “Heh-heh-heh, the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm? Li Yidao, do you think you can walk out of this hall alive today?”
He always boasted of his cleverness. He thought he could play others, but others could not play him.
Today, however, Li Yidao prevailed on him and humiliated him in terms of both words and courage. Li Mu stabbed him in the heart with knife-like words and poked his sore spot, driving him to the edge.
Li Mu turned around and looked at Feng Xingyun.
“Is he really the second Heavenly Legend who is known for his wisdom?
“Even if all the people in the Ziwei Star Zone were r.e.t.a.r.ds, he still would not be qualified for that, would he?”
“Heh-heh-heh, Li Yidao, I’m going to kill you today, even if I will get punished.” A light black halo was circulating around Feng Xingyun’s body, and strange energy waves were bursting out from his body. His eyes were bloodshot, as if scarlet blood was surging in them.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Bai Yuanshou frowned.
“Li Yidao is really a troublemaker. At today’s banquet, he caught all the people’s attention and drove the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan and Feng Xingyun crazy… If I hadn’t promised that person that I would protect him, I would be more than happy to leave him alone.”
Bai Yuanshou was about to say something to stop Li Mu.
Just then, another voice suddenly rang out in the main shrine hall.
“Heh-heh, the Nether Ghost Clan is really getting worse with each generation. Do you want to kill someone at the banquet of the Heavenly Fox Clan?” A pleasant and brick woman’s voice was heard. A stunning woman wearing a blue divine robe came to the center of the main shrine hall. She looked at Feng Xingyun and said, “Anyone who kills people or disrespects the G.o.d in this shrine hall is going to die.”
Feng Xingyun’s fierce eyes fell upon this beautiful woman.
“Who are you? What makes you say those words?” He sneered.
Bai Yuanshou’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this woman. He frowned. He could no longer just stand by and watch. He walked up and gently patted Feng Xingyun on the shoulder. In an instant, the powerful energy waves from Feng Xingyun’s body disappeared without a trace. Bai Yuanshou said, “My dear nephew, don’t be rude. This is the new G.o.ddess of the Green Fox Tribe in the Heavenly Fox Temple. You should watch your language. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you if you commit blasphemy.”
Feng Xingyun looked shocked. When he looked at her again, his eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with fear and awe.
The crowd in the main shrine hall burst into uproar and exclamation.
In the Ziwei Star Zone, there were some ancient myths and legends about G.o.ds.
Among them, there was a legend about the G.o.ds of the Heavenly Fox Clan.
For millions of years, the Heavenly Fox Clan consisted of several major branches, among which the White Fox Tribe, Green Fox Tribe, and Fire Fox Tribe were the largest ones. All of the three tribes once had Fox G.o.ds with great power and influence in the entire Star River. Every time a Fox G.o.d appeared, the Heavenly Fox Clan would enter a stage of prosperity. Legend had it that each Fox G.o.d would be reincarnated, and when it reached a certain age, it could awaken the memory and strength of its previous lives.
No one had ever heard of the appearance of a Fox G.o.d until now.
“Could it be that this Fox G.o.d of the Green Fox Tribe has just awakened?”
The awakening of a Fox G.o.d of the Heavenly Fox Clan was a major event that shocked various Star Regions.
In an instant, all eyes fell upon the peerless beauty in a blue divine robe.
Li Mu looked at her in surprise.
He didn’t expect that Bi Yan would turn up at such a moment.
It had been more than a month since they parted in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe. They hadn’t seen each other again since then. Today, it seemed that the bloodline that Bi Yan had awakened was even more powerful than he had imagined. Even Bai Yuanshou, the Pontifex Vulpes, stood in awe of her.
“Has she become a G.o.ddess?”
Li Mu stared at her.
The innocent little girl in the old days had become a stunning woman of peerless beauty. She was indescribably beautiful and graceful. She really looked like a deity looking down at the mundane world.
“The Heavenly Fox Clan has the authority to make the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. If anyone dares to kill any listed Heavenly Legend before the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm is opened, I will kill them and all the members of their races, tribes, and species.” Bi Yan said in an ethereal and emotionless voice. “I will surely investigate the previous ma.s.sacre cases and call the murderers to account.”
She gave off a mighty G.o.dlike aura.
The energy waves from her were not strong, but all the people on the scene, regardless of their cultivation level, had the impulse to kneel down and pay tribute. That was an animal instinct originated from the depths of their souls.
She was the true G.o.ddess.
Even such powerful people like Bai Yuanshou had to bow his head slightly at this moment.
